Intro Looking after the house is hard work you have to look after the children while doing other jobs to keep the house clean and tidy. This is always hard work so these things will help you keep control of your house. Teaching Try and teach all your children to clean up after themselves at a young age so you don’t have to be their personal slave when they are older. Chores Share the chores, make sure that every one in the family has a good EVEN share of jobs it will not be fair, if one person has one job and the other person has three jobs it will not be fair. Also have your children do chores so you are not going around doing all the jobs, but it has to be a job that they can manage because if they can not do it they will have problems. Patients You have to be patient with your child or they will get mad and it will be hard to manage them. Children can be hard to manage because they are still growing, and making mistakes. Sometimes talk to them, and see if they are alright and if they are having any problems. If they have problems see if you can help them with it. Washing Always do you washing, white in one load and colour clothes in another load, and also if you have towels put them in a different load. It is important that you put white in one and colours in another because if you put them together the whites will come out with colour on them. Cooking When you are cooking try and cook something everyone will like because otherwise the children will not eat their tea/dinner. Try and put veggies on their plate to keep them all healthy. If they say they do not like the tea and they will not eat it, say that they will be banned from something for a week or they will not be able to have desert so they will eat it. Cleaning While you are cleaning try and get everyone to help you so you do not have to clean everyone’s mess. Split them up and tell them they have to clean this part of the house, first try and get them to clean their room if it is already clean get them to clean the bathroom or another place in the house. Home Late If you are running late home from work you will not have time to cook dinner but it is OK, go down and get some take out food it is easy and fast but do not have it more that once a week. Otherwise it can be very bad for you and your children. Keep your Children under control Make sure that all your children are under control otherwise it could get way out of hand. By Alicia
